"My prediction is that the da vinci code heresy movie will crash and burn as it should."
Poor, beach-read writing != heresy. Unless you're a big fan of the Inquisition and the Witch Trials?
" No believing Christian should give any money to this type of tripe."
No fan of any film should give money to a movie-based-on-a-book, as the movie never does the book justice. "Shawshank Redemption" and "Jaws" being 2 glaring exceptions.
" On the other hand 'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S. Lewis that is due in theaters by Christmas will approach the 'Passion of the Christ' in sales."
I doubt it will be nearly as good as the children's cartoon movie of the same name they used to show back in the 70s. I LOVED "Chronicles...". So much so that I read every book in the series. Although it didn't do much for my Christianity, it was still a very entertaining book series. Also, might not some Christians be offended at the "Jesus is a Big Lion" caricature and consider that blasphemy? Jesus wasn't a lion, nor was he killed by a witch!!
But, since I have read all the books, the movie can not possibly measure up to the images my mind already conjured when reading!
The vast majority of Christians know that "Chronicles" is an allegory. Armed with that knowledge, they are able to enjoy the story for what it is, greatness.
